Feeding your TRIRIGA information needs

Tag Archives: URL

I installed IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform 3.5.3 in Linux CentOS 7. While running the TRIRIGA installer, I selected an embedded server, that is IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) Liberty Profile 17.0.0.2. This server is successfully installed and up and running.

From the log, I found that the server host where IBM TRIRIGA is accessed has an URL something like this: http://some.static.ab-xyz.com:8001. This URL value was taken by default. I did not provide this value. My question is: How do I change this host name URL? Where is the setting for this?

I’m not sure what log you’re looking at and what specifically you’re seeing. What is set as your FRONT_END_SERVER value in your TRIRIGAWEB.properties file?

When the navigation item is saved with special characters, the user is unable to open the form. Upon clicking the item, an error is reported: “Due to either a session timeout or unauthorized access, you do not have permission to access this page.”

When you create a custom navigational link, if special characters are used such as /, \, &, #, %, they break the capability to redirect the user to a form or to an external link. Refrain from adding a special character. They must be omitted so that the form can be rendered.

A navigation item whose target is set to “External URL” and whose URL links directly to a folder no longer works. An error such as the following might occur: “An error occurred, please contact your system administrator: [MID-4077624314].”

The Java applet that uploaded documents based on the navigation item target in earlier TRIRIGA versions is deprecated due to security concerns. Most browsers no longer support Java applets. The applet upload function is replaced with an HTML5 upload function.

As a result of these changes, “External URL” navigation items in earlier TRIRIGA versions that successfully uploaded documents via portals to upload documents to a folder might no longer work. The Document Upload widget was redesigned to be used only in the context of either Document Manager or a record, not a portal. Use Document Manager directly to upload documents.

I installed a new version of TRIRIGA Platform 3.5.3 and Application 10.5.3. I set up the IBM TRIRIGA Connector for BIM (Autodesk Revit) and CAD Integrator, and the environment is localhost:8001. But when I try to login to TRIRIGA from Revit, I get an error. Any ideas what’s going on here? It can’t be an issue with naming, because this is a fresh unconfigured application.

Verify the OSLC_BASE_URI. You can also turn on Fiddler, and verify that the URLs being sent over are valid URLs (including any port numbers) to connect to TRIRIGA from Revit.

We turned on the SSO in our environment. (1) If we want to connect to one of the forms on our system, it shows us that we need to login first. (2) But if I use the link in the email notification that TRIRIGA sent out, it will login and open directly. What’s the difference between these two methods? Is there a way to open a form directly without login?

Because the URL that is being used is an “anchor” (it uses the # character to define the parameter), it isn’t possible to use that in an SSO environment. So you need to determine what the underlying WebProcess.srv call is to that form. For example…

We are using TRIRIGA 3.5.2. We are currently experiencing an issue with lease document attachments. When one user uploads a document that has the same name to two different lease records, the document record is overwritten.

The issue stems from the fact that the upload functionality defaults the path to \ROOT\Object Attachments\[Employee Name]\triRealEstateContract\[File Name]. There is a folder ID parameter in the action URL, but it doesn’t seem to work. Is there a way for TRIRIGA to create a folder based on the current record ID instead of the BO name?

In this day and age, security is a very hot topic. As soon as one vulnerability is addressed and mitigated, another one is found. It is a vicious circle of identifying and addressing vulnerabilities that does not seem to let up. In our fix pack release notes, information regarding the mitigation of vulnerabilities that were addressed without an APAR is listed. And sometimes, a vulnerability is addressed as an APAR.

The reason I am mentioning security vulnerabilities is that sometimes, when they are resolved, there is an impact on existing functionality, which may not always be clear. Sometimes, the result of fixing vulnerabilities can “change” functionality. As an example, in the TRIRIGA 3.5.2 release, external URL navigation items will now open in a new window to avoid cross-origin scripting vulnerabilities…

As the product develops and security vulnerabilities are found and addressed, it could mean a change in how something works. Reading the release notes can be a source of information, but it may not always be clear why something changed. We all know change is hard, especially when we are so used to it working in a certain way. I don’t know about you, but if the change was made to address a security vulnerability, I can live with that and accept the change.
